I kinda run out of manga to read lately. I'm looking for manga with game-like themes, something similar to Half-life or BioShock etc. Story involves planet exploration, genetically altered, time travel, cyberpunk, and of course has that game-like feeling.

Any recommendations are welcome!!

and Yureka

Seriously though, TC. Those themes you listed aren't "game-like" in the least... unless your only exposure to science fiction is video games.... which is sad.

Based on the games you like, rather than what you are asking for, I think you might like these.

Alive
GUNNM
GUNNM: Last order
Blame!
Noise
Appleseed

Longshots, but worth reading anyway
Arm of Kannon if you can find it. It's long been out of print.
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind
7 Billion Needles

I recommend Superior and the sequel Superior Cross. For planet exploration and survivor style I recommend Btooom! and 7 Seeds (7 Seeds is shoujo though so I don't know if you like it)

Thanks very much, however I have read all those series you listed.
That's the reason why I'm kinda out of manga to read.

Those are common themes for games, no? What I'm looking for is a manga that you can feel as if you are playing a game while reading it. Btw, I'm a happy person with a large scifi novel collection

Dark Air got a more Classic RPG felling, but it's a good read.

You can try Reset, if you might be interested in a storyline, which is going to let reality becoming blurred with it's online game replication.
